Timing

Today I am thankful that a AIM plane and pilot were present in Doro! A woman came to us in labor with her seventh child--but this one was in the wrong position for delivery (for you medical people--the baby was in face presentation--mouth first to be exact). The timing worked out beautifully for me to start and IV on her and for the rest of the medical team to get her on the flight and take her to the nearest hospital for an emergency Cesarean section.
A healthy little boy was born with the aid of Samaritan's Purse physician and nurses in Kurmuk, a town several hours away by car--but only 30 minutes or so by plane. Woo Hoo! This was the first pregnant women that we referred for a c-section and probably the only one whose child could be saved by the surgery. We are thankful. An AIM plane has only been on the ground here in Doro overnight perhaps a dozen times in my seven months. God's timing. He has plans for that little baby boy.
